Argentina locker room. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The atmosphere was a little dreary, but the expressions on the faces of the hammers were quite relaxed.
The players whispered, and at this time, Li Tongfan pushed the door in.
Up to now, Li Tongfan has not come up with any good way to crack the [Otto the Great] Rehhagel's almost shameless iron tactics, all he can do is to slightly adjust the tactics of the Argentine team for the surname, which is better than nothing...... "In the second half of the game, we will make substitutions......
Li Tongfan came to the tactical board, picked up the ink pen, paused slightly, and then began to write a list of people to be replaced on it. At this time, Demichelis, who made the unforgivable mistake in the first half, was about to lower his crotch!
He is sure that the so-called substitution in the head coach's mouth must be aimed at himself!
And the other players almost have the same opinion, 'because the leader' is very strict with everyone in the team, and anyone - even the number one core [Barcelona King] Messi, if he makes a mistake that should not be made, he will be unabashedly reprimanded!
It's a way to coach everyone who feels fair and doesn't dare to slack off.
There was a moment of silence in the locker room.
It wasn't until the 'squeak' sound of the tip of the ink pen rubbing against the blackboard disappeared that Demichelis raised his head, he didn't see the substitution logo on the tactical board for the first time, but saw the gaze of head coach Li Tongfan, his expression was full of seriousness, staring at himself honestly...... "Sure enough, I'm going to be replaced!" ”
Seeing the head coach's eyes like this, Demichelis no longer had the slightest luck in his heart.
………… Peter Mocaba Stadium in Porogani City.
At halftime, some fans looked for a place to open the floodgates to release water, and some went to the shops and supermarkets in the stadium to buy food...... Like the players, they are feeling tired after 45 minutes of crazy shouting and dancing and are seizing the time to recover and prepare to continue cheering for their respective teams in the second half!
For the fans, the game is also a victory!
On the commentary seat.
Commentators from all over the world are seizing the time to analyze the situation in the first half of the game from a professional point of view, and predict the possible adjustments and ...... of the two sides in the second half...... Greece's lead was a complete surprise, but it was also true that Argentina were helpless against their opponents' bucket defences...... If Crazy Lee can't find a good solution to this problem in the second half, then perhaps, the soon-to-be-retired [Otto the Great] Rehhagel will perform the last miracle of his coaching career - become the first person to defeat [God on the sidelines] Crazy Lee! ”
“…… I don't think Greece will be able to win in the end, after all, there are so many miracles that Crazy Lee has brought us, the Champions Cup of the Real Madrid era, the battle of Old Trafford, the battle of San Siro, the final of the Battle of the Olympic Stadium, and the incredible comeback at Euro 08 at the Ernst Happel Stadium...... Even if there is the last second left in the game time, one of the middle fingers of the madman Li can change the game, he is such a man who makes everything impossible possible...... The Greek team rejoiced too soon! ”
"However, you have to note that cracking the bucket formation is a world problem, the Greek team has already made it clear that they want to defend, and it is not impossible for Rehhagel to put 10 defenders in the second half even if he puts 10 defenders in the half!"
“…… I guess Argentina will definitely make substitutions, and Demichelis, who made an unforgivable mistake, will definitely disappear from Argentina's starting list forever! ”
"Well, I agree with you in this regard, with the maniac Li Tie's leading wrist, Demichelis's road to the World Cup in South Africa has come to an end!"
The commentators rambled on the analysis of what could happen in the second half.
[God of War] Batistuta, who served as the temporary commentator, did not speak, and at the end of the game, he clearly saw that when Li Tongfan turned around and walked towards the players' tunnel, his eyebrows were tightly wrinkled together, and it was not the usual unhurried and confident expression, which made Batistuta have a bad feeling in his heart...... "Is it ...... Lee didn't find a way to win either? ”
He was worried about his own speculation.
………… Fifteen minutes later.
Force!!
Referee Yuichi Nishimura, 45,000 fans at the Peter Mocaba Stadium in Poroguani City sounded the whistle for the start of the second half of the game under the expectant watchful eyes!
The game is back on!
Greece kicked off first.
Rehhagel's team was as unenterprising as ever, they just came to a sloppy cross from the side, and when they saw that they couldn't stand on the slightest advantage, they immediately retreated to their own half and continued to put up a bucket formation!
Argentina had the ball again less than 30 seconds after the restart.
However, compared with the first half, the players on the field of the blue and white team have indeed changed a lot - "...... Crazy Lee made a substitution, but, contrary to our suspicions, Demichelis 'The Sinner' was still on the field...... It's really unbelievable, the madman Lee actually forgave him! ”
Demichelis ...... It's really unexpected! ”
"The changes in the Argentine team are mainly reflected in the front, [Angel] Di Maria replaces [Beast] Carlos Tevez on the field, [Small Smoking Gun] Higuain replaces the back Fernando Gago ......"
Compared to the first half, Argentina's formation also changed slightly, with Messi dropping back to the shadow striker position, Di Maria and Aguero occupying the two wings, Higuain and Diego Milito occupying the penalty area as a central striker, and Cambiaso as a single midfielder...... It's more like a formation with both wings flying on the wings! ”
“…… This is a relatively clever tactical adjustment, in the face of intensive defense, it is indeed a relatively useful tactic to break through and turn on the wing...... However, considering that the average height of the Greek team's defensive players is more than 1.9 meters, and neither Higuain nor Diego Milito is more than 1.85 meters tall, it will be more difficult for the Argentine team to rely on high-altitude bombing to open the Greek team's goal! ”
The narrators seemed very experienced.
In an instant, they analyzed Li Tongfan's tactical adjustments very thoroughly...... on the field.
The competition is in full swing.
The Argentine team did put the focus of the attack on the two wings, the so-called 'side effect', also has a non-negligible role on the football field, Di Maria and Aguero are both fast, good skills, and strong individual breakthrough players, therefore, the Greek team in the side defense, gradually become difficult!
They had to take consecutive fouls to stop the Argentine team's breakthrough.
The referee's whistle kept blowing.
In just five or six minutes, the Greek team had two players on the wing, Kachulanis and Chilios, and they were yellow carded...... However, the effect of the cross is not ideal!
Facing a Greek defence with an average height of 1.91 meters, it is difficult for Milito and Higuain to dominate the high-altitude ball, and it is difficult to send the ball into the penalty area smoothly when the ball is crossed...... The adjustment of the madman Li seems to have fallen into a dead end again!
57th minute.
Di Maria broke through two people in a row on the side, forced a low flat cross, and was blocked by the Greek team's left full-back Torosidis stretched out of the bottom line...... Argentina won a corner.
The players with better header skills in the blue and white team are concentrated in the penalty area of the Greek team, ready to compete for the top, and it is the set-piece master Riquelme who comes to the corner flag area with the football to prepare for the corner!
[Barcelona King] Messi did not drill into the penalty area.
He rushed towards the corner area to meet Riquelme for a tactical corner.
Riquelme saw Messi reaching for the ball.
To be honest, at this moment, Riquelme really wants to pass the football to Messi, because according to the height comparison of the players of the two teams, if they are sent directly into the penalty area, the Argentine players are very unlikely to grab the point, and the tactical corner is a good choice...... However, considering that at halftime, the 'head' Lee Tong-beom repeatedly asked the team to play more high-altitude balls, although he didn't understand the reason, he finally decided to abide by the manager's tactical arrangement!
Taking advantage of Messi's attraction of two defenders, Riquelme made a free throw in an instant.
The football is hoisted high into the penalty area!
Sidelines.
Seeing this scene, Rehhagel suddenly felt much more relaxed, the last thing the Greek team was afraid of was the high-altitude ball, he smiled and turned around and walked to the seat of the command seat, wanting to rest...... However, at this time...... There was a sudden change on the field - no one thought that in the face of this football hanging high, it was not Moras who was 1.93 meters tall, not Kirjax, who was 1.92 meters tall, or Papadopoulos, who was 1.90 meters tall, to grab the first point...... Not any of these big men in the Greek team!!
It's Demichelis, who is only 1.84 meters tall!
Like a roaring celestial deity rising from the ground, Demichelis accurately judged the first point of the fall of the football, and then shook his head to attack the goal...... The ball instantly changed its flight path and flew towards the goal.
It's fast!
However, the route seems to be a little bit right!
The goalkeeper of the Greek team, Zolvas, was light, and instantly made a subconscious judgment, he was extremely confident that in another second or two, the football would obediently lie in his arms, and in the stands, he would remember the applause given to him...... But...... The crowd in the penalty area of the Greek team is too dense!
The ball bounced back to Greek defender Kirjax before flying into Zolvas's arms, and then bounced back...... This scene is so similar to the scene that happened when the Argentine team shot many times before.
All the people in the forbidden area were slightly stunned!
There is only one exception - Martin Demichelis!!
From the beginning of the second half, the first second he stepped on the turf, he gave it his all, and the mistakes in the first half made him feel an irrepressible shame all over his body, and the only way to wash away the shame is to beat the opponent fiercely!
Therefore, even after completing the goal with a header just now, he did not hesitate, but immediately followed, ready to make up for the goal in case the goalkeeper made a save...... Opportunities are for those who are prepared!
Football stadium mountain, this sentence is indeed a wise saying.
While the others were still stunned, Demikaris was like an angry lion, the ball on his head fell because of the top ball just now, and at this moment his long hair was like an angry black flame, fluttering and dancing in the wind at the Peter-Mocaba Stadium in Boroguani!
It was a shocking moment!
Demichelis took two steps before hitting the ground and bouncing the ball again.
Leg lift.
Shot.
Football Fly Out!
He used such a huge force that after the shot, the whole person was in the air unbelievably ...... And in the face of such a shot, all reactions are ridiculous!
Goalkeeper Zorvas didn't even have time to blink an eye, and the ball flew into the goal!
This time, nothing will be able to stand in its way!
This time, Demichelis held his head high, he didn't have to bow his head again!
This time, [Otto the Great] Rehhagel turned around on the sidelines, and he saw in his smile the moment when the Greek team's goal was blasted open by the long-haired man!
This time, it's salvation!
Salvation for one!
